Compounds, compositions, and methods which may be used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are disclosed. In particular, novel polycyclic carbamoylpyridone compounds and methods for their preparation and use as therapeutic or prophylactic agents are disclosed.

Description of Related Art

Human immunodeficiency virus infection and related diseases are a major public health problem worldwide. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encodes three enzymes which are required for viral replication: reverse transcriptase, protease, and integrase. Although drugs targeting reverse transcriptase and protease are in wide use and have shown effectiveness, particularly when employed in combination, toxicity and development of resistant strains have limited their usefulness (Palella, et al. N Engl. J Med. (1998) 338:853-860; Richman, D. D. Nature (2001) 410:995-1001). Accordingly, there is a need for new agents that inhibit the replication of HIV.

A goal of antiretroviral therapy is to achieve viral suppression in the HIV infected patient. Current treatment guidelines published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services provide that achievement of viral suppression requires the use of combination therapies, i.e., several drugs from at least two or more drug classes. (Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents. Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents. Department of Health and Human Services. Available at http://aidsinfo.nih.gov/ContentFiles/AdultandAdolescentGL.pdf. Section accessed Mar. 14, 2013.) In addition, decisions regarding the treatment of HIV infected patients are complicated when the patient requires treatment for other medical conditions (Id. at E-12). Because the standard of care requires the use of multiple different drugs to suppress HIV, as well as to treat other conditions the patient may be experiencing, the potential for drug interaction is a criterion for selection of a drug regimen. As such, there is a need for antiretroviral therapies having a decreased potential for drug interactions.

In addition, the HIV virus is known to mutate in infected subjects (Tang et al., Drugs (2012) 72 (9) e1-e25). Because of the proclivity of the HIV virus to mutate, there is a need for anti-HIV drugs to be effective against a range of known HIV variants (Hurt et al., HIV/AIDS CID (2014) 58, 423-431).

Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. These radiolabeled compounds could be useful to help determine or measure the effectiveness of the compounds, by characterizing, for example, the site or mode of action, or binding affinity to pharmacologically important site of action. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of Formulas (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), (If), (II), (IIa), (III), (IIIa), (25-M), (25b), (39-M) and (39) for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, may be useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e. ³H, and carbon-14, i.e. ¹⁴C, may particularly be useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.

Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. ²H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability. For example, in vivo half-life may increase or dosage requirements may be reduced. Thus, heavier isotopes may be preferred in some circumstances.

Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of Formulas (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), (If), (II), (IIa), (III), (IIIa), (25-M), (25b), (39-M) and (39), can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

The methods, compositions, kits and articles of manufacture provided herein use or include compounds (e.g., (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), (If), (II), (IIa), (III), (IIIa), (25-M), (25b), (39-M) and (39)) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, or solvates thereof, in which from 1 to n hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom may be replaced by a deuterium atom or D, in which n is the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. As known in the art, the deuterium atom is a non-radioactive isotope of the hydrogen atom. Such compounds may increase resistance to metabolism, and thus may be useful for increasing the half-life of compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, or solvates thereof, when administered to a mammal. See, e.g., Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by deuterium.

The embodiments disclosed herein are also meant to encompass the in vivo metabolic products of the disclosed compounds. Such products may result from, for example, the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, and the like of the administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein include compounds produced by a process comprising administering a compound according to the embodiments disclosed herein to a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products are typically identified by administering a radiolabeled compound according to the embodiments disclosed herein in a detectable dose to an animal, such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to human, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur, and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples.

“Stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

“Mammal” includes humans and both domestic animals such as laboratory animals and household pets (e.g., cats, dogs, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits), and non-domestic animals such as wildlife and the like.

“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event of circumstances may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted heterocyclyl” means that the heterocyclyl radical may or may not be substituted and that the description includes both substituted heterocyclyl radicals and heterocyclyl radicals having no substitution.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” includes without limitation any adjuvant, carrier, excipient, glidant, sweetening agent, diluent, preservative, dye/colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of a hydroxy group include the anion of said compound in combination with a suitable cation such as Na⁺ and NX₄ ⁺ (wherein X is independently selected from H or a C₁-C₄ alkyl group).

For therapeutic use, salts of active ingredients of the compounds disclosed herein will typically be pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e. they will be salts derived from a physiologically acceptable acid or base. However, salts of acids or bases which are not pharmaceutically acceptable may also find use, for example, in the preparation or purification of a compound of Formula (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), (If), (II), (IIa), (III), (IIIa), (25-M), (25b), (39-M) and (39) or another compound of the embodiments disclosed herein. All salts, whether or not derived from a physiologically acceptable acid or base, are within the scope of the embodiments disclosed herein.

Metal salts typically are prepared by reacting the metal hydroxide with a compound according to the embodiments disclosed herein. Examples of metal salts which are prepared in this way are salts containing Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺.

Exemplary chemical entities useful in methods of the embodiments will now be described by reference to illustrative synthetic schemes for their general preparation herein and the specific examples that follow. Artisans will recognize that, to obtain the various compounds herein, starting materials may be suitably selected so that the ultimately desired substituents will be carried through the reaction scheme with or without protection as appropriate to yield the desired product. Alternatively, it may be necessary or desirable to employ, in the place of the ultimately desired substituent, a suitable group that may be carried through the reaction scheme and replaced as appropriate with the desired substituent. Furthermore, one of skill in the art will recognize that the transformations shown in the schemes below may be performed in any order that is compatible with the functionality of the particular pendant groups.

Representative syntheses of compounds of the present disclosure are described in schemes below, and the particular examples that follow. Schemes 1 and 2 are provided as further embodiments of the invention and illustrate general methods which were used to prepare compounds having the Formula (Ia), (Ib), (II), (IIa), (III), and (Ma), and which can be used to prepare additional compounds having the Formula (Ia), (Ib), (II), (IIa), (III), and (IIIa). The methodology is compatible with a wide variety of functionalities.

Protected diamine a1 can be combined with a substituted pyrone b1 in the presence of a weak base such as sodium bicarbonate in mixtures of water and alcoholic solvents. After removal of the protecting group R^(d) with strong acid or hydrogenation followed by heating with a stronger base such as DBU, the tricycle c1 is formed. c1 can be treated with an alkylating agent (such as MeI or EtI) in the presence of a base followed by hydrolysis of the ester to generate compound d1. d1 can be treated with an amine such as a substituted benzyl amine in the presence of a coupling reagent such as HATU or EDCI to generate e1. e1 can be deprotected with an appropriate reagent such as magnesium bromide or lithium bromide or Pd on C in the presence of a hydrogen atmosphere to give f1.

Protected amino-lactol a2 can be combined with a substituted pyrone b2 in the presence of a weak base such as sodium bicarbonate in mixtures of water and alcoholic solvents to give intermediate c2. Hydrolysis of the ester denoted by —O—R^(b) can be accomplished with 1 equivalent of an appropriate hydroxide reagent such as lithium or sodium hydroxide. At this point, transesterification of ester denoted by —O—R^(c) may be achieved using an appropriate alkoxide reagent such as lithium isopropoxide, after which an amide coupling with a reagent such as HATU or EDCI and an appropriate benzyl amine generates intermediate d2. Lactol deprotection using a strong acid such as methanesulfonic acid followed by heating with a primary amine (R¹NH₂) such as ethylamine or methylamine results in tricycle e2. e2 can be deprotected with an appropriate reagent such as magnesium bromide or lithium bromide or Pd on C in the presence of a hydrogen atmosphere to give f2.

Example 67 Pharmacokinetic Analysis Following Oral or Intravenous Administration to Male SD Rats

Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed on compounds 25b and 39 following intravenous or oral administration to rats.

The test compounds were formulated in 5% Ethanol, 55% PEG 300, and 40% water at 0.1 mg/mL for IV infusion and for oral dosing.

Each dosing group consisted of 3 male, Sprague-Dawley rats. At dosing, the animals weighed an average of 0.25 kg. The animals were fasted overnight prior to dose administration and up to 4 hr after dosing.

For the IV infusion group, the test article was administered by intravenous infusion over 30 min. The rate of infusion was adjusted according to the body weight of each animal to deliver a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. For the oral dosing group, the test article was administered by oral gavage at 5 mL/kg for a dose of 0.5 mg/kg.

For pharmacokinetic analysis of intravenously administered compounds, serial venous blood samples (approximately 0.3 mL each) were taken from each animal at 0, 0.250, 0.483, 0.583, 0.750, 1.50, 3.00, 6.00, 8.00, 12.0, 24.0, 48 and 72 hours after dosing. The blood samples were collected into Vacutainer™ tubes containing EDTA-K2 as the anti-coagulant and were immediately placed on wet ice pending centrifugation for plasma. An LC/MS/MS method was used to measure the concentration of the test compound in plasma. An aliquot of 50 μL of each plasma sample was added to a clean 96 well plate, and 200 μL of cold acetonitrile/internal standard solution (ACN)/(ISTD) was added. After protein precipitation, an aliquot of 110 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a clean 96-well plate and diluted with 300 μL of water. An aliquot of 10 μL of the above solution was injected into a ABSciex API-4000 triple quadrupole LC/MS/MS system utilizing a HyPurity C18 HPLC column (30×2.1 mm, 3μ), from Thermo-Hypersil (Part #22103-032130). An Agilent 1200 series binary pump (P/N G1312A Bin Pump) was used for elution and separation, and an HTS Pal autosampler (LEAP Technologies, Carrboro, N.C.) was used for sample injection. A API-4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was utilized in multiple reaction monitoring mode (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). Liquid chromatography was performed using two mobile phases: mobile phase A contained 0.1% formic acid and 1% isopropylamine in aqueous solution, and mobile phase B contained 0.1% formic acid and 1% isopropylamine in aqueous solution. Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed on the plasma concentration-time data. The resulting data are shown in the first three columns of Table 2. In Table 2, Cl refers to clearance, which characterizes the rate at which drug is removed from plasma. The lower the clearance of a drug is, the longer the elimination half-life is in the body. Vss refers to the steady state volume of distribution and indicates how well a drug is distributed into the tissues. The larger the Vss is, the longer the elimination half-life is in the body. MRT refers to mean residence time, which is a measure of the average time molecules exist in the body.

For pharmacokinetic analysis of orally administered compounds, serial venous blood samples (approximately 0.3 mL each) were taken from each animal at time points of 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0 24.0, 48.0 and 72 hours after dosing. Blood samples were collected, prepared and analyzed in a similar way to the intravenous studies described above. Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed on the plasma concentration-time data. The resulting data is shown in Table 2. In Table 2, F (%) refers to oral bioavailability.

Example 68 Resistance Assay

For the antiviral assay utilizing MT-2 cells, 50 μL of 2× test concentration of 3-fold serially diluted compound in culture medium with 10% FBS was added to each well of a 96-well plate (9 concentrations) in triplicate. MT-2 cells were infected with wild-type or mutant variants of HIV-1 for 3 hours using a volume of viral inoculum determined to produce 90% cell killing. Fifty microliters of infected cell suspension in culture medium with 10% FBS (˜1.5×10⁴ cells) was then added to each well containing 50 μL of serially diluted compound. The plates with HIV-infected cultures were then incubated at 37° C. for 5 days in the presence of the tested compounds. After 5 days of incubation, 100 μL of CellTiter-Glo™ Reagent (catalog # G7571, Promega Biosciences, Inc., Madison, Wis.) was added to each well. Cell lysis was carried out by incubating at room temperature for 10 min followed by a chemiluminescence read-out.

Data Analysis

The chemiluminescence readout from the 10-point antiviral dose response was analyzed directly by curve fitting with equation (I) to determine the EC₅₀.

$\begin{matrix} {y = {{- \left( \frac{M \times {{EC}_{50}}^{n}}{{{EC}_{50}}^{n} + \lbrack I\rbrack^{n}} \right)} + \left( \frac{\left( {M + H} \right) \times {{CC}_{50}}^{m}}{{{CC}_{50}}^{m} + \lbrack I\rbrack^{m}} \right)}} & (I) \end{matrix}$

where y=Cell Survival, M=maximum cell survival enabled by drug protection, H=baseline cell survival without drug protection, n=Hill coefficient of the antiviral dose response, m=Hill coefficient of the cytotoxicity dose response, and [I]=inhibitor concentration.

EC₅₀ values (mean±standard deviation) were calculated from at least three independent experiments performed in triplicate. The fold-change in antiviral activity of tested compounds was calculated as a ratio of the mean EC₅₀ for each mutant virus divided by the mean EC₅₀ of the control WT virus. A lower fold-shift means the mutant virus shows less resistance to that compound.

Example 69 Plasma Protein Binding

Instrument and Reagents for Dialysis

Plasma protein binding was determined using a HTD96b equilibrium dialyzer with a plate base, stainless steel pressure plate and Teflon bock. 9 Teflon bars, labeled sequentially from A through I, were assembled with two stainless steel connecting rods. Membranes were placed between two Teflon bars, with the membrane placed approximately 2 mm below the top edge of the bar and the lower membrane edge overlapped the bottom of all wells. The membrane was soaked for about 20 minutes in water, about 20 minutes in ethanol (30/70 v/v) and rinsed with water three times to remove the ethanol. It was soaked in PBS for at least 30 minutes. Plasma in sodium EDTA (Bioreclamation or equivalent) was used. The Plasma (not pH-adjusted) was stored at −80° C. and thawed at room temperature before use.

Stock Solutions and Quench

The stock solution of the compounds tested was at 200 μM in DMSO. The quench solution used was 50 nM of an internal standard in 100% ACN.

Test Article Solutions in Plasma and CCM

To prepare a 2 μM solution of the compound tested in plasma, 5 μL of a 200 μM stock solution was added to 495 μL of blank plasma.

Equilibrium Dialysis Procedure—HTD 96b Dialyzer

100 μL plasma was added with 2 μM of test compound into one side of the well. 100 μL of buffer (for plasma vs. buffer) was added into another side of the well.

The 96-well plate was covered using an adhesive sealing film and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. under slow rotation.

This procedure was replicated for each compound.

Sample Preparation for Analysis

50 μL of plasma sample was put into a 96 well plate, 50 μL of buffer was added. 50 μL of buffer was put into a 96 well plate. 50 μL of plasma was added. 300 μL of quench solution was added and the plate sealed and shaken for 15 minutes.

The material was centrifuged for 30 minutes at 3000 RPM and ˜250 μL was transferred into a short plate. The samples were analyzed by LC/MS.

The resulting data is shown in the last row of Table 3 as “% Free” which corresponds to the percentage of compound not protein bound.
